“Who cares about walking with you!”

Julia grumbled and grabbed Claire’s hand. Then, they walked towards their

The dinner was arranged at Golden Splendor, Silverton’s most luxurious and expensive restaurant.

More than having money was needed to get anyone a seat here. To dine and entertain here, someone must make a reservation a week in advance and be a member who has paid a membership fee of five hundred thousand dollars.
